Selected voice stations

E03/E03a

Apart from the regulations concerning the reception of wireless stations within Great Britain advice on reporting intelligence matters also exists in the form of DA notices.

Whoever the messages, from E03/E03a, are aimed at ENIGMA 2000 has no wish to 'advertise' the existence of these stations to those who may not support the best interests of Great Britain, or its representatives abroad. Although we are unable to stop discussion of E03/E03a, ENIGMA 2000 will remain aloof from any such discussion and will not be including reports or analysis on E03/E03a.

E05

After some silence E05 is back with us; AnonUK heard E05 and sent this message to ENIGMA2000:
"E05 is back with us, on at present on 8110 calling 652" then following up with the second frequency.[Thanks AnonUK]

PoSW wrote to say that he too listened for E05 and discovered that carriers were up as early as 1030z on 8110kHz and its parallel freq of 10583kHz. PoSW also noted the nearby XJT which causes some concern.[Tnx PoSW]

A listing of E05 freqs can be found on: http://www.cvni.net/radio/skeds/output/E05.deprec.txt

On 01/10 PLondon lugged his RX out during his lunch hour to discover that the signal on 8110 was S9+ whilst the //10583kHz was below par and smothered by a noisy signal on top of it. Deliberate or just one of those things?

Recently, 22/10, PoSW wrote that he had lost track of the 1200z E05 on 8,110 // 10,583 kHz noting that it did not seem to be around on Saturdays and Sundays and there was no sign of any other E05 schedules.

Peter then followed up with a ‘flash’ message to E2k that stated:

LATE NEWS ITEM!! :- TWO KNOWN E05 FREQUENCIES, 8080 & 8110kHz NOTED THIS MORNING, SAT 25^th 0715z S9+ CARRIERS MOD WITH 1016Hz TONE, BOTH WENT QRT 0729z

This is definitely worth keeping an eye out for – Thanks for this message PoSW.

E06

Voice Variant:
RNGB caught an English number station at1700z 11/09 on 8170kHz (lsb well suppressed). He had never heard this OM before and asked if it was E20?

Like myself he had never heard E20. [two messages, different recipients, messages in different voices].

This sent a dual message; ID '671' repeated for 4 mins then 840 (35 groups); '671' repeated for short while then 928 (30 groups) each group repeated once.

The second message broke down half way through, '671' repeated, then message continued from break, ending 928x2 30x2 00000. RN GB recorded the whole transmission on tape sending both ENIGMA 2000 and Ary a 1 min sound clip for identification purposes.

The station has since been identified as a voice variant E06 and will be noted in the control list.

[Thanks to AnonUK, MikeL, PLondon and RNGB with the identification of this variant].

The sound sample can be heard in the Files Section, Sound Samples as 'E06 voice variant.

Of the usual E06 PoSW writes, "The E06 English Man continues to be busy; the Saturday 1230z + 1330z which was a regular schedule for several years seems to have gone - I havn't been able to this one since July. If it is still around it must be either a very weak signal or hidden inside the broadcast bands. However, there is a schedule running on the second and fourth Saturdays in the month at 1400z, repeated 1500z; and furthermore has been noted with two seperate transmissions on at the same time with the same DK/GC but a different call, most bizarely on Saturday 11-Oct at 1500z when the two seperate E06s were logged with the same message and were mixing with each other."

Other E06 logs:

Gert reported hearing E06 sending ‘123456789’ repeated at 2050z 19/09 on 5731kHz:

E07

AnonUK kindly notified us of the E07 afternoon fixtures for Sunday and Wednesday and remarked that it "Seems a bit silly to use that 13828 frequency with so many high power BC stations on there." PoSW also offered the same information and logs.

[This high freq use also been noticed with other stations too, notably the Polytones].

From AnonUK: E07 Sunday and Wednesday 1700z 13828, 1720z 12185, 1740z 10827kHz: ID 818.

From RNGB2000z 13416, 2020z 11625, 2040z 10292kHz

E10 Log Comments

Reception during the first half of September has been very poor at this location here in Kent

Thanks to J6m A frequency that is not often reported : EZI on 15.980. I will add this to the ever increasing freq list.

A Big thankyou to JC Malta for his extensive E10 logs for Sept of which I append here, I have re-arranged his lists to make for a more easier reading and saving of space and have highlighted the repeated group messages. I hope this meets with your approval JC. JC 's overall reception was reported good
